A little less than a year after its release on PC, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will experience the joys of a brand new support. The adventures of Peter Parker and Miles Morales will therefore start again, this time against a new selection of much more invasive enemies.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will weave its web on a new medium
In 2018, and after a long wait, Insomniac Games realized the dream of many Spider-Man fans: a spectacular adventure at the controls of the most popular superhero on the planet, in a high definition New York. The announcement and the various trailers were able to make our mouths water, and the result was largely in line with expectations. Best of all, Spider-Man has never been so pleasant to control, twirling extremely fluidly between the buildings of the Big Apple. On August 12, 2022, the Remastered version of the game experienced the joys of a successful PC portfollowed in November by the independent expansion dedicated to Miles Morales.
In a much shorter time frame, Insomniac and Sony announce the arrival of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 on Steam and Epic Games Store. Launched in October 2023, the title will be ported with the help of Nixxes, a studio bought by Sony for this type of project, namely porting the firm’s first-party games to PC. The joint adventure of Peter and Miles will therefore be available on our computers on January 30, 2025, less than two years after its initial release on PS5. Does this announce ‘an acceleration in the pace of PC releases PlayStation exclusives? It’s too early to tell. Still, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, sold four million copies in just 30 days, will soon be available on a new medium.
Adapting Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales for a new audience on PC with Insomniac and Marvel Games had been a great experience for the Nixxes teams. We are pleased to renew this collaboration to bring Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 to PC with an advanced feature set, including ray tracing options to take advantage of a wide variety of hardware configurations. We will reveal more details about these features and system requirements closer to the game’s release, says Julian Huijbregts, Community Manager at Nixxes.
A definitive edition before its time
The support of Steam Deck is not announced for the moment, unlike the now essential connection to a PlayStation Network account. Available in standard and deluxe versions with players knowing that to upgrade the base version, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 will support the usual rendering technologies as well as ultra-wide screens and keyboard-mouse combo. Enough to face Venom in the best conditions.
The public is also guaranteed to get the definitive version of the game, Insomniac has not planned, barring surprises, to develop additional content. We will therefore find the New Game +, the outfits added after the release, all the options of the very complete photo mode and, of course, all updates deployed on the title. By pre-ordering this PC version, you will obtain the Knight outfit in three colors, the Shadow Spider outfit for Miles in three colors, the web catcher gadget and three skill points.
